Hey Emma! I just posted my Day 30 gratitude list on the thread. I wasn't sure if you were done with it and wouldn't be back, so, I thought I'd leave you a message here.

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for thinking of the idea and sticking with it. I enjoyed reading your lists and getting a glimpse into the amazing life you have created.

For me, there were days when trying to think of so many things was really challenging, but at the same time, I found myself, no matter was going on, always feeling this undercurrent of goodness.

Thank you for inspiring this new practice (which I am going to continue...with shorter lists) and for, once again, helping me along with my spiritual growth. May you continue to experience massive abundance and that the days get better and better for you as the future unfolds.

OMG! Emma! A million thank yous for your last comment re: comparing surrender to going to the gym.

While I knew better than to liken surrender to giving up, I always had an image you have probably also come across--a person who had never considered surrender before is feeling total pain, or panic, or grief, or some other intense emotion, literally, gets down on their knees, looks up and says something like, "I surrender to you. Please help me get through this." It's like, in one moment, they release everything to a higher power. Then, the next day, a series of miracles happen that, are not only profound and unexpected, but they magically make everything better.

That's what I thought surrender was. Come to think of it, I must have gotten this idea from movies or TV shows or something.

So, to be told it is a process is such a huge relief.

Yes, you have written a ton! That's why I asked if you had considered a book. Seriously, I have organized your writings to the point where I could easily send you a book outline detailing each chapter and how they would elaborate on topics you have already written about here. For the sake of all the people who don't know about this forum and those who haven't read your words as extensively as I have, please, please, please consider writing a book. It doesn't have to be long--30,000 words (10 chapters, 3,000 words each) is fine. And let me help you with it.

I hope you don't me posting an update since the last comment I left you. Also, I hope you don't think I'm some crazy stalker. As I mentioned, I loved your words. Your thoughts, your outlook, and your experiences, deeply resonated with me. I went through pretty much everything you've written on the site and had close to 40 pages of text. I whittled that down to 20 pages then eight pages. The eight pages I entitled "Emma's Greatest Hits". I'm seriously thinking about creating a thread and posting your "greatest hits" for everyone to benefit from. I hesitate though because I didn't know if you'd be cool with it or not.

Most importantly, I've been putting your advice into action. Surrendering has been hard. I say the words, but they don't feel completely genuine. I've started to journal. I've started to repeat the mantra "I love myself". I've started to ask the Universe for help and guidance with everything. I've gone back to writing gratitude lists. The list goes on...

I wanted to share something that happened: Without going into a long-winded explanation, let's just say there is a guy in my life whom I'm working on a creative project with. He's great, but dealing with mental illness. At times, it can be very draining because he is constantly reaching out to me to talk about the despair he is feeling. I asked the Universe (as you instructed) to help the situation--to relieve the stress and building resentment I was feeling. Turns out, on the day I journaled about it and asked for help, he met someone on an online dating site. Now, he's happy, excited, and feeling better. I feel as though a lot pressure has been taken off of me. It was a quick, beautiful, and miraculous turn of events.

I wanted to share that experience as a testament of how powerful, helpful, and meaningful your words were for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I really am struggling with the surrender thing though. And I wish I was as tapped in to the voice of the "higher power" as you are.

I hope you don't mind if I drop by from time to time to let you know about my progress. You've been an awesome teacher, Emma and I just want to share the impact your words are having on my life.

Hey Emma! I was going to send this message privately, but after I realized you had to accept my friend request before I could, I thought I'd just share my gratitude here.

Yesterday, I happened to read a comment you left for someone. That lead me to spending hours reading pretty much everything you've written on this forum. I even printed out many of the "discussion" posts you wrote, underlined many things, and quoted your words in my journal so as not to forget them.

I came to the forum totally frazzled over a guy situation. Thanks to so much of what you wrote, I feel so much better and so much more empowered. The post you wrote about surrendering was EXACTLY what I needed. I have been trying to surrender for years. Something about the way you explained it that just made so much sense to me and made me realize it was time.

To simply say thank you would seem trite. I am sending you buckets of gratitude for all the time and effort you put into the posts, and comments, you have left on this site. You have changed my life.

You should share all of your wisdom within a book (if you haven't already). I have tons of experience and knowledge about writing and publishing. If you ever considered doing a book, feel free to reach out to me. I'd love to play the role of editor or help in any way I can.

Emma, I hope you don't mind but when I read your reply I thought Emma, then can you advise THIS woman please, put it on my page please please if you think I am thread hijacking. Then I decided to comment on your page instead. Delete if you want.
"James, I think you're starting to believe that all the good ones are taken. Do you think on some level you believe that there is a shortage of great single women?
That's just something I picked up on reading your post and reply. I'm not going to give advice because I think it's more fitting from a man."

I THINK I have this belief there is a shortage of guys I'm even ATTRACTED to.

I read about these girls dating multiple guys & I can think of few guys I WANT to date! So I'd love to feel (a) more high value cos I feel like I have to be a 20 yr old supermodel type - which I'm not - to get a handsome compatible boyfriend - & that the type of man I want to date is a rare breed & few of them are attracted to me!

I HAVE dated good looking nice guys before so this is CRAZY, I think it's crap from earlier in life I want to leave behind. I get my share of male attention, but usually not from the kind of guy I find attractive (sometimes I do though) & when these girls were talking about rotating their guys I thought WHERE do I find guys I'd WANT to rotate.

In mid 2012, I met & briefly dated a man who was a man of my dreams. But now it's like I can't go back. He has raised the bar, damn him!

How do I also see myself as beautiful enough & gosh just ENOUGH full stop to GET the kind of guys I want? Even when I did online dating some were nice but most I didn't fancy or were good looking & didn't like me & it was hard not to think I'm too ugly or old to get a guy like that. HELP. I have beautiful eyes, pretty great hair, curves, kind heart, great sense of humor, quite a few interests how do I believe it IS enough?

(Yes I am doing inner & outer work on me, being nice to me & doing fun things etc when I can & raising my vibe step by step.). I want to be a bit like that guy in the Secret - date gorgeous compatible guys then have a man of my dreams boyfriend & a great relationship with him!)

Just sent a friend request to you. I always read and appreciate your posts and inputs in discussions. You seem like an awesome, kind person! Your post about self-love "Went from failure to a huge success in a matter of days" struck a cord with me. I am following your advice in that post word for word, lol and some days its easier and at other times road blocks appear. If you don't mind i'd like to PM you with some questions as you've already been down that road:)
